| Abstract [eng] |
The electroencephalogram signal (EEG) often suffers from various artifacts and noises that have physiological and non-physiological origins. Among these artifacts, eye blink, due to its amplitude is considered to have the most influence on EEG analysis. In this paper, a low complexity approach based on Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and skewness is proposed to remove eye blink artifacts from EEG signals. The proposed method is compared against Automatic Wavelet Independent Components Analysis (AWICA) and Enhanced AWICA. Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE), Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), and correlation coefficient ( ρ ) between filtered and pure EEG signals are utilized to quantify artifact removal performance. The proposed approach shows smaller NRMSE, larger PSNR, and larger correlation coefficient values compared to the other methods. Furthermore, the speed of execution of the proposed method is considerably faster than other methods, which makes it more suitable for real-time processing. |
